Two days later, everyone took turns observing the True Qi Martial Arts, then exchanged information with one another before leaving one after the other.
Meanwhile, Lu Chang'sheng had three new objects in his possession.
One was a white jade bracelet, with fine cracks creeping across its surface and faint traces of blood clinging within.
According to Old Jiang, this white jade bracelet was involved in a homicide case in a lower county of Liyang Prefecture. It began with a scholar who'd repeatedly failed the imperial examinations; he'd married a stunning wife, envied by all. Unexpectedly, half a year later, he suddenly passed the Child Examination, was overcome with excitement, and when he got home, fell into a deep sleep and couldn't be awakened.
When his family was organizing his funeral, he suddenly sat bolt upright, gave a strange, wicked smile, then lay back down, dead silent forevermore.
